While some Schaum's outlines are comprehensive enough to sufficiently replace introductory textbooks (Schaum's Genetics is a good example), Schaum's Immunology is not among these. This outline is formatted in a question and answer style that is well suited for review before exams. The outline does not make a good stand alone resource for independent study, however it is great as a supplementary study-aid. So while I do recommend this book for those taking a first course in immunology, I wouldn't depend on it to allow you to throw out your regular textbook or start missing lectures.
I took immunology in college and this book definitely helped with the complex material. I would recommend this book to anyone who is taking immunology.
Schaum's not only gives bold faced vocabulary words, but they excel at orienting the content to the field, so they give a top down view and place the content within that view. Questions and Answers are given, all are in discussion format, a little off putting if you are new to the material, would have liked a few matching and fill in the blanks also but then I am new to the field of Immunology.Cross referencing material to other texts appears to show content fairly current.
yellowing of all pages , otherwise text is clean and readable .
